C-segment estate model to debut at Paris Motor Show
cee´d
´sporty wagon´ to go on sale in Europe from September 2007
Kia
has revealed the first image of its all-new C-segment estate
model, the cee´d ´sporty wagon´, which will be shown in
public for the first time at the Mondial de L´Automobile in
Paris next week, prior to its launch in mid-2007.
The 4470 mm long, 1490 mm
high, sporty wagon is the second model in the new Kia
cee´d family of cars. A first in the C-segment, it
features a tailgate shaped like an inverted ´L´ with
its hinges set back over the load area so the tailgate
rises almost vertically, giving en-hanced access to the
large-capacity cargo area that has additional storage
below the floor.
The
sporty wagon has the same 2650 mm wheelbase as the
five-door hatchback cee´d that makes its world premiere
in production-ready form at the Paris Motor Show and
goes on sale in December 2006.
When
the cee´d sporty wagon goes on sale next September,
customers will be offered an extensive choice of five
engines, three trim/equipment levels and 12 exterior
colours.

The
introduction of cee´d family (five-door, ´sporty wagon´ and
three-door ´sporty hatch´) marks a major turning point in Kia´s
history. They are the first-ever Kia models designed and manufactured in
Europe, and will introduce a qualitative revolution for the brand.
